Hidden in the centre of Malaga is El Pimpi, one of the oldest bars in Malaga. Its bars are a maze of different rooms all of which have their unique personalities. However, most visitors get no further than the outdoor cafe bar facing the Alcazaba. Certainly go inside and look around. When we were there, they had a group playing... More

This bodega has been recommended by my Malagueño colleague. El Pimpi is an iconic place, located in typical Andalusian house from XVIII century. Bodega welcomed lots of intellectuals, artists and Spanish celebrities. Usually it is overcrowded, particularly on Friday or Saturday evening. I would recommend you to visit this place at noon or early afternoon to enjoy the charming atmosphere.... More

The Finnish travel magazine called Matkalehti recommended several restaurants in Malaga an El Pimpi was one of them. The restaurant looks nice with large terrace. We ate inside because it was not so hot. We took two-course-meals. My husband took seafood paella as a starter and fish of the day for the main course. Paella tasted ok but it was... More

I wish I could write a bad review so that this place stays semi hidden and not completely overrun by tourists but the food is too good to have the world share in it! At the end of the day, to sit and savor the flavours erupting from the dishes they serve should eliminate any poor feelings anyone might have... More

Cannot fault the ambience, food and wine. Can be quite busy but its a place not to be missed. The seating area outside is great for watching the world go by.

We went with some visitors from Norway. Due to the high cost of living in Norway, anywhere in Spain seems reasonably priced. There is no doubt that the place is full of character and has a good feel. However the food we had, various dishes were average and very expensive. Nice to say we have been there, we would probably... More

absolutely an amazing place. it is also a passage way, so feel free to walk through without drinking anything; but if you do, you won't be alone. The locals also know this place and it is a better standard bodega, but a glass of wine is still under €2,50!

I'm a little surprised by so many disappointed reviews. We happened upon it by accident. We were walking down the street thinking about looking for a place to eat when we saw some artistic rapellers performing on a wall across the street. El Pimpi's terrace was a logical place to eat and watch the show. We only had tapas which... More

We have been to Malaga a couple of times and El Pimpi was always heaving and too busy to eat. The entrance and terrace are wonderful. The maze of rooms delightful. the service very efficient, All in all it should have been a good experience. It was not. The efficiency made it feel rushed, the speed of waiters made me... More
